Divorce Papers

One spouse must have been a resident of Colorado for 90 days prior to filing for dissolution of marriage. The dissolution of marriage may be filed for in: 1) the county where the respondent resides; or 2) the county in which the petitioner resides if the respondent has been served in the same county or is a nonresident of Colorado. [Colorado Revised Statutes; Article 10, Section 14-10-106; and Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 98].

The one and only no-fault ground for dissolution of marriage is: Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, [Colorado Revised Statutes; Article 10, Section 14-10-106].
